Personally, what they're doing with Mario Odyssey is best - but I would go a step further by by waiting till October to release gameplay footage and other secrets. We are in a hightened state of "OMG" the week after the Odyssey reveal, how are audiences going to get back to that state of mind?

Wait, so you'd want them to wait until the month of release before showing off the game properly? Can't say I'd be a fan of that.

Reveals with gameplay footage 6-12 months out from release work best in my opinion, with a steady dripfeed of new info and footage over the following months to maintain interest. So yeah, Odyssey is a pretty good example of the ideal method in my book.

Yeah, 6months is fine, but 1-2 should be experimented with - we're in an age of mass digital distraction, the dilution of new footage happens at an exceedingly quicker rate. I do liek that they broke it up into "stages" with the cappy-reveal being the next stage of the reveal. Still too soon for me.
